| Description of the problem | The control buttons on the steering wheel do not perform intended function, or fail entirely. Occasionally when the dash lights are lit, the buttons do not light. They may or may not come on later in the drive. The volume + button makes the cd track or radio station skip to the next one, the volume - button makes the volume increase. The mem button does nothing. The cruise control started slipping, as if it "forgot" that it was on. And the truck accellerates, or slows. When the cruise was on yesterday, the "resume" button didn't work, and the "set" button caused the truck to accellerate. Frequently, the cruise control simply will not turn on and set at all. |
